Idle Timeout	The ZyXEL Device automatically disconnects a wireless station from the wired
	network after a period of inactivity. The wireless station needs to enter the user
	name and password again before access to the wired network is allowed.
	The default time interval is 3600 seconds (or 1 hour).

Group Key	The Group Key Update Timer is the rate at which the AP sends a new group key
Update Timer	out to all clients. The re-keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically
	changing the group key for an AP and all stations in a WLAN on a periodic basis.
	Setting of the Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK mode.
